Chapter 12 Flashcards
Flavivirus
The basic structure of flavivirus
enveloped icosahedral with T=3 capsid, (+) ss-RNA with 1 C protein and 2 enveloped proteins (E and M)
E is for
attachment and fusion
Yellow fever virus (flavivirus)
monkeys and humans; hemorrhagic fever
Dengue (types1-4) virus (flavivirus)
monkeys and humans; fever, arthralgia, rash, hemorrhagic fever
West Nile virus (flavivirus)
birds and humans; fever, arthralgia, rash
Bovine viral diarrhea (Pestivirus)
Ruminants; persistent infection, mucosal disease
Hepatitis C (Hepacivirus)
humans, acute and chronic hepatitis
mosquitoes are anthropod vector to
yellow fever, dengue, and west nile viruses
yellow fever virus is controlled via
vaccination with live attenuated by Theiler
Dengue virus originates in
tropics
West Nile virus is in
North America since 1999
Yellow fever virus has three stages in symptom progression
1) high fever, muscle pain, headache, and severe vomiting; 2) latent stage of fever dissipating; 3) repeat of original symptoms with more severity
the genome structure of the flavivirus is
linear (+) ss-RNA with 5’ cap structure and no poly(A) tail
the genome structure of the pestivirus and hepacivirus is
no 5’ cap IRES instead and no poly(A) tail
yellow fever genome has
structural C, prM, E; non-structural NS1, 2A, 2B, 3, 4A, 4B, 5
the genome is taken steps of
from one ORF to one polyprotein to 10 mature proteins
the structural proteins of YFV are
anchC -> C, prM -> M, E
anchC is
“anchored” capsid protein. precursor to capsid protein; signal sequence inserted in membrane is cleaved by viral proteinase
